Post Reply? I’ve had a wordpress-based site designed by a third party. I’ve created the requisite db, but they need to install WordPress themselves, since it’s heavily customized (I can’t use the one-click install or manually install the standard distribution). How can I give them enough access to install WordPress under my “home” folder (under /home/username/domain.com) without actually giving them my password to the main shell account? I’ve tried creating a restricted ftp user, but that user cannot access my “main” account folders. Is there another way, or do I have to provide them with my most sensitive DH password? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. — “Well I can get the ‘a’. But how do I put the circle around it?”
